Quintessential Khaki Sisal and Leather Handbag

These handbags, handwoven from natural durable Kenyan sisal with leather handles, never go out of style.

You'll feel great carrying this purse and knowing that it is fair tradeandcrafted with environmentally friendly materials. Sisal grass is very sustainable in Kenya and the purse's cow leather is salvaged from local scraps, then cut and conditioned to an impressive finish.

Measures 11"D x 16"T, 10"T to the top of the bag.

In the rural Kenyan countryside around the city of Kitui, women specialize in weaving the tough fibers of the agave sisalana plant. Sisal's spiky leaf clusters erupt from a dry landscape and often requires long journeys to gather. Once woven, these womens' totes are sold to local and international markets. Singing, dancing, and chatting make weaving for export an enjoyable social event!
